#RAINBOW SIX VEGAS 2 STEAM OUT OF KEYS SERIES#
The Rainbow Six series has made a living out of the "safe" sort of terrorism that takes over embassies, kidnaps businessmen and stands outside doors waiting to have a cap popped in its head, and Raven Shield is no exception. But since we can’t do a hell of a lot about this in real life, we may as well keep playing games in which we can pretend, eh? From the sporadic actions of small groups of individuals it has turned into a global threat, replacing the atom bomb as the new spectre of fear and paranoia in our otherwise cosy existences. Terrorism has been on our minds a lot in the last year or so.
A bit beyond the call of duty you might think, but what’s a little temporary deafness when you've got a game this damn good? The developers also demanded that flashbangs and gas grenades were chucked at them so that they could experience what it’s like first-hand. (Mike's spent 20 years in the LAPD, so don’t go and tell him he looks like Hank from The Larry Sanders Show.) And, in a bid to make the game as realistic as possible, the developers have employed SWAT officer Mike Grasso to oversee all the weapons and their effects. In action the game looks hyper-fluid and everything, down to the death animations, are realtime and completely unpredictable. The new Unreal engine complements these little tweaks perfectly.
You can also use your mouse wheel to open and shut doors slowly and silently, and although you might think that these sound like minor tweaks, the extra immersion and gameplay possibilities they bring up are infinite. Why can’t you position yourself accurately below an object so that you can aim your weapon at someone’s skull without exposing yourself? This is just one of the problems that's been addressed in Raven Shield. despite the hyper-realistic settings, weaponry and scenarios in previous outings, just how good is it if you have to control a man who can only shoot from three positions: standing, lying or squatting. When it comes to tactical shooters it’s a given that they don't come better than the Rainbow Six series.
